Additionally, various Chinese meme stocks experienced price increases of 15% to 20% over the past five days, driven by their names, including 哈三联 (Hahaha), 哈尔斯 (Harris), and 莎普爱思 (Kill Trump Love Harris). The phenomenon highlights the interplay between U.S. politics and Chinese market sentiments, particularly in the context of the so-called 'Trump Trade.'
